i'm not sure he's an upgrade on Vlaar to be honest, maybe about the same

Speaking of whom....I know he's injured so won't be going anywhere that soon but his 'step up' ambition isn't looking that good with Southampton having signed Van Djik. I'd imagine our offer on the table is on it's way to the bin as well with Lescott signed.

I actually feel sorry for Vlaar.

I know he's still set for life, and will get a club eventually, but if you look at not much more than a year ago, he was about to become a free agent and having a brilliant world cup. His stock couldn't have been higher.

Only to have a horrible course of events pan out for him.

has Lescott left already then?

Yes, he has signed for us but we have immediately farmed him out on loan to Bristol Rovers.

Fuck him. Rarely fit, often shit, thought he could do better than the Villa.

Have we signed him as JoLeon was the nearest name we could find to Jordan?

With Lescott, Richards and Gestede are we a threat from set pieces yet?

We got a penalty from a set piece on Saturday, didn't we? And scored from one in the first game.

So, yes.

Just imagine of someone can whip corners into dangerous areas with pace rather than just floating them up.

We were putting more pacey corners in on Saturday, which is nice, I never liked those floaty ones.

Floaty ones are always difficult to get down
